The Musical Architecture Collection is a unique series of original watercolour illustrations that reimagine some of the world's most recognisable landmarks through the language of music. Created by artist Charlotte Marino-Hume, each architectural design is carefully constructed from the musical notation of a famous work associated with the building, seamlessly blending art, music and history into a single composition.
Every piece begins as an original hand-painted watercolour, with intricate musical scores forming the architectural details before being brought to life with expressive washes of colour and delicate ink linework. The result is a collection that invites viewers to look more closely, discovering hidden musical elements woven into each illustration.
Professionally printed in England using carefully selected premium materials, every greeting card and museum-quality giclée fine art print is produced with exceptional quality and sustainability in mind. Whether purchased as a thoughtful gift, a travel memento or a distinctive piece of wall art, each design celebrates the rich cultural heritage of both music and architecture.

The architecture shapes the music and offers a sanctuary where performance, passion and faith are seamlessly entwined. This reflection of James Gibbs’ spiritual haven is depicted here in full musical form, solely by the use of musical notation and instruments. No line is without its place within a classical music score, all used to realise this beautiful building’s shape.
